CHAPTER 2 IMPROVING DIGITAL (Web design) PHOTOS Cropping Fairly
CHAPTER 2 IMPROVING DIGITAL PHOTOS Cropping Fairly often, a photo has more in it than you want. Perhaps you took a picture of something far away, and your zoom wasn t quite enough to get up close, so the subject only occupies a small part of the center of the photo. Or perhaps there s some unwanted object intruding on part of the frame, such as another person, a garbage bin, or your finger. (Not that you d ever take a photo with your finger in front of the lens! At least, with the GIMP, you don t ever have to admit to doing such a thing.) The solution to this problem is cropping. Click on the Crop tool button in the Toolbox to select it; it looks like a scalpel blade (Figure 2-10). Figure 2-10. The Crop button in the Toolbox To use the Crop tool, press the left mouse button down in the image window at the upper- left point of where you want the cropped image, drag down and right to where you want the lower-right point to be, and then release the mouse button. (You can actually start at any corner, as long as you drag diagonally to the opposite corner of the rectangle you want cropped.) You will see a preview of the cropped image (Figure 2-11) with drag handles so that you can adjust the crop rectangle.
